Description
A rich and intense Tempranillo from old vines planted at altitude in Castilla-La Mancha, Venta La Ossa delivers concentrated blackberry fruit, dark chocolate notes, and subtle wood spice. A complex, structured red with elegance and a long, persistent finish.
Meet the producer
Bodegas Mano a Mano manages 330 hectares of vineyards, including 300ha at Finca La Dehesa in Alhambra and 30ha at Finca Sierra de… Their meticulous approach focuses on old vines, low yields, and terroir-driven wines that express the best of Castilla-La Mancha.
Production
Gobelet-trained Tempranillo vines, aged 60–100 years, grow on sandy soils at 750 metres above sea level, producing small yields of 1–1.5 kg per vine. Grapes are fermented in stainless steel at 28°C, followed by 12 months’ ageing in French oak barriques to develop richness, structure, and depth.
Tasting notes
Aromas of ripe blackberry, lifted floral notes, liquorice, and wood spice. The palate is plump and full-bodied with flavours of dark chocolate, clove, and ripe black fruit, underpinned by smooth tannins and a long, elegant finish.
Food match
Pairs beautifully with roast pork, lamb, or warmly spiced tagine dishes.
